Public bug reported:

Following the recent update to fix LP: #1069019 a regression was
introduced when trying to save an empty SourcesList.


>>> from aptsources.sourceslist import SourcesList
>>> s = SourcesList(withMatcher=False)
>>> s.save()

/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/aptsources/sourceslist.pyc in save(self)
    409 
    410             with io.open(path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
--> 411                 f.write(header)
    412             return
    413 

TypeError: must be unicode, not str

This is because the header that's added when there are no APT entries is
a regular Python 2 string object, and not a unicode object.
